Why Do We Advertise With Cookies?

Our journalism has been partially funded by advertising since the Manchester cutmovie.co.uk’s inception in 1821. As a result, our journalists are free to criticize the actions of companies and organizations that advertise or sponsor content on Guardian sites or publications.

People who buy a newspaper or subscribe to our print or digital editions are increasingly funding us directly. But we still rely on marketing to increase our supporter base, and advertising to fund our journalism. So cookies help the cutmovie.co.uk without jeopardizing our independence or values.

How Do We Advertise With Cookies?

It uses cookies from some of the companies listed in the Privacy settings at the bottom of every page.

• We also let third parties use cookies and other technology to help us analyze how our site is used, count visitors, and display advertising. cutmovie.co.uk uses cookies, tags, pixels, and other web beacons to share information about you with others.
